nvm I found out that it shows up in the generator by pressing "space", although it would be awesome if you could import one you earlier had exported.

@DoctorGnario how did you make the district names popup on the map (all of them and after export)?

I have already posted the problem on in this forum page:
https://itch.io/t/129723/version-5-complications

the problem is not with he bucket Nor with the milk, it is a problem with the bots thinking they can complete a job some other bot just finished, but instead of just trying again (as there is no way to detect you got milk in the bucket or not), it skips the command.

I found 2 solutions you can do yourself,:

1) only have 1 bot per cow ranch to milk (which will max be enough for 7-9 if you have them next to the milk storage)

2) you can make the bots try to milk multiple cows.

the second option is rather inefficient, as adding more bots means more tries to milk, which only speeds up the process of movement.

how I did it:

fenced up a 6x5 area (on the inside) and put a milk storage and a fertilizer storage on one of the sides filling half the space.
get 2 general storage, fill them with straw and have 1(6 cows) 2(7-12 cows)  bot export the straw to the ground, next to the milk storage input.

1 bot milking. (tbh. I think they produce to much milk)

1 bot gathering fertilizer.

2 bots rewinding and walking out of the area to not stand in the way.

temporary fix, make the bot milk twice in a row and if it already has milked it will just skip it.

after some testing, I found out that, it is related to the problem with 1 bot starting a request reserving it from other bots, but when it finish the request the other bot thinks it isn't reserved anymore and tries to complete the job that no longer exists, it hasn't been much of a problem before automating milking.

first of all, there's a problem with automating milking, as if you got more than 1 bot at the milking duty they try to milk the same cow, end up only one milking and both proceed, then the 1 with milk continues to put it in storage and the other is stuck trying to put a empty bucket in the milk storage. I tried fixing it, by puting down the bucket and picking up a new one that's empty, problem with that is the buckets is the same for the bots so it doesn't filter empty buckets from milk buckets.

another problem, when mining for metal you also gain stone, but stone has no usage, so I ended up with a tower of 1k+ stones in the corner of the map not used for anything
